1997 GMC SAVANNA 2500 TRANSMISSION - 4/22/2006 6:26:04 PM    BILLSONG   Posts: 6 Joined: 4/22/2006 Status: offline I have a 1997 GMC Savanna 2500 5.7L. My Transmission doesnt shift from first gear. Top speed is 15MPH. It goes up to 15MPH while I'm driving around the block after car doesnt move forward anymore. After about 5-7 minutes after shutting down the car it would move for a while then the same thing happen. Also I dont know if this help but if I start it up and let it warm up it would move only out of my driveway. Post #: 1
